Monument to The Berghers of Calais 1889 Bronze
"I fell in love with Rodin when I went to France
and studied sculpture and of his work, my absolute favorite was The Berghers
of Calais. The hands, the strength in those hands and in the faces of
the men, the positioning of the characters, of the figures together, the
feet, everything about his work just carried such emotion and such strength.
I wanted to work like that, only I wanted to do it from a black cultural
standpoint."
